Mueller Industries, Inc. dividend reflects a century-old manufacturer of copper, brass, and aluminum products serving plumbing, HVAC, and refrigeration markets worldwide. The current yield stands at 1.29%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $0.85 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is September 4, 2026. MLI's beta of 1.122 means the stock moves slightly more than the broader market, making it a better fit for dividend investors who can tolerate moderate price swings in exchange for a low-yield, low-payout profile.
Mueller Industries, Inc. pays out 15.4% of earnings as dividends, a payout ratio classified as conservative (below 40%). That leaves a wide buffer between earnings and the dividend obligation, supported by demand across the company's three segments: Piping Systems, Industrial Metals, and Climate, which serve OEMs, wholesalers, and building material retailers across multiple geographies. Mueller Industries, Inc. dividend safety benefits from that diversification, though the history table does show at least one year-over-year decline, and a beta above 1.0 means earnings can move with broader industrial cycles.
Mueller Industries, Inc. dividend history shows a CAGR of 5.2% per year from 2007 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.40 to $1.00 over that period (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the CAGR calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 806.7% in 2017, which reflects a special or outsized payment rather than a sustained acceleration in the base dividend.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | 0.0% | $1.00 (2022) | $1.00 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +20.1% | $0.40 (2020) | $1.00 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +12.8% | $0.30 (2015) | $1.00 (2025) |
MLI stock fits dividend investors who prioritize a low-payout, financially conservative structure over immediate income. The yield is low (below 2%), currently at 1.29%, which sits just below the 5-year average of 1.33%. Growth over the long window has averaged 5.2% per year, but the history includes volatility and at least one decline, so the growth path has not been linear. What an investor gets here is a deeply covered dividend from a manufacturer with broad industrial exposure. The trade-off is a yield that delivers modest income today, with growth that has been uneven rather than steady.
